Please remember you are responsible for your own safety. Before you venture out please read the Avalanche Canada forecast for the area you are visiting and be sure to tell others where you are going or hire a professional guide. Everyone in your group needs to carry avalanche safety equipment (transceiver, shovel, and a probe) and know how to use it.
